A toilet block will become a kite surfing school if plans get the go ahead.

The loos to the rear of an ice cream kiosk on East Parade, Rhyl have been earmarked for an office as well as training, changing and drying facilities for the town’s Pro-Kite Surfing School and Club.

An application for planning permission seeks approval to convert the female toilets into a changing room with showers, toilets, lockers and office storage space.

The second block, currently a metal gated walkway, will be transformed into a cleaning and drying area for wetsuits with disabled toilets.

Applicant Simon Jones, owner of the club, said a new entrance door would be added with a fire door at the rear.

The existing male toilets in the third block would see all cubicles and urinals removed and redesigned into a “chill out space” and tuition area.

The toilets near Rhyl Sun Centre were built 10 years ago but only ever used for storage. Mr Jones says all replacement brickwork will be in keeping with the style of the kiosk.

A report says: “The men’s cubicles and urinals will be removed carefully, for reuse if needed, to create more floor space. Capping of all pipes will be done neatly, set back in the walls just in case these will need to be used another day.”

The Pro Kitesurfing lessons offer tuition in all aspects of kite-powered and paddle activities, from basic board control and power-kite flying to beginner kite boarding lessons and kite tricks.

The plans will go before Denbighshire’s planning committee in due course.
